All this talk of Soul in the Season (thanks Kate - I needed a reminder), I needed to get going with some special things I wanted to do this fall. Saturday afternoon, we headed out to Fennville to Crane's U-Pick. Now this place is pretty plain. No corn mazes, no little rides for the kids, no little store selling expensive apple everything (that's across the street and was sooo packed they were parking on the sides of the highway! It's a very busy highway...and with a little Jacob, I just couldn't chance it! Maybe next year.)
My little apple picker! And just in case there might be a fire...he's prepared.
Does that look like 31 pounds of apples?

Our caramel apples!
We stopped in a little dive bar on our way home (because the restaurant at the OTHER orchard was so packed). I always loved it when my Dad took me to the bar when I was little. I always felt so privileged - being in a place that was normally just for adults. We all split a little deep fried basket of heart-attack and some pop.
I also had to share my latest creation with you too because candles always remind me of fall, maybe because I associate them with warmth. These are 100% beeswax. They smell fantastic!
P.S. - I'll be back soon with previews of our family pictures as well as Jacob's first day of pre-school!
Love this! Apple picking is going on my list next year!
